The fear grows in certain circles
that the spring will introduce number
less strikes and that there will be q
general rebellion among the labOring
classes. There does not seem to be
any additional cause for these strikes,
other than the encouragement given
by the different organizations,
but this will make no
difference. 1t has been said
that horse that runs away once is
sure to try it again, and so with a
striker. The first strike makes him
dissatisfied with his employment and
even after he secures that, which he
struck for, he has the seeds Of discon-
tent in his heart and it grows and
fiOurishes until he must strike again
at all hazards. 1t would seem then.
TO be better for the laboring classes to
avoid the first strike. but if induced to
try a second should roll this morsel
under his tongue for reflection and de-
eide for himself how much he and his
family have gained in the past. l. is
stated upon competent authority that
the cost of the strikes in the United
States since January 1st, foOts up
seven and quarter millions and eight
tenths of the whole amount was taken
from the pockets of the strikers them
selves. 1t will be seen then that the
chief sufferers have been the laborers
and it can only be traced to the direct
result of organization. II is no wond-
er that the thinkers among the work,
ingmen are becoming alarmed and
wonder where the whole thing will
end

The railroads are not much wor-
ried over the interstate commerce bill
and it is not to be wondered at. 1t is
not particularly unfavorable to them.
They don't understand exactly what
it means. but neither does anybody
else and that is about all there is to
it. Its Trainer could not ex.
plain it clearly and concisely and the
only real advantage of the thing will
be the five men who are to receive
81 500 a year each. as members of a
commission who will undertake to
carry out the provisions of the bill,
withou understanding it. So far re.
formes of this kind have been much
worse than tie evils complained of and
the results have been footed up as
increasing the interests of few high
salari ed officers.

al enactment, the right to keep the
saloons open on Sunday, will be
passed. In large cities most of
the fights occur on Sunday and The Sun
day picnic is made dangerous because
of the convenience to liquor. Many
men Who are employed constantly
during the week, find themselves
readily yielding to the seductive in
fuence on Sunday, not because they
particularly desire the co.npanionship
and the liquor found there, but be-
cause it is at hand and they drift into
it. The Sunday saloon should be
abolished and even the bet
ter class of saloon keepers are willing
to acknowledge it.

POINTED TRUTH SHARPLY EX.
PRESSED.

The Far1x and F3resade is bold-in the
advocacy Of truth and fearless in the
denunciation Of wrong and here is the
way in which it talks to farmers:
"Our correspondent is correct in
his statement that the ballot has failed
to arrest our decline in prosperity, and
he also correctly states the reason for
this failure: It is because the modern
politician has become such an adept
in controlling this ballot. 1t is not
alone the Ignorant day-laborer, the
foreigner and the negro whose ballots
are controlled by the willy politician !;
but men who rank among the most
intelligent of our people, both in city
and country, are today driven to the
polls like sheep to the shearing, and
there record the dictates of their DO
itical bosses as meekly as ever slave
fell to work at the crack of the over
seer's whip! Until farmers set to
work with invincible determination to
possess themselves of that knowledge
and training which shall enable them
to think for themselves and to act in
harmony with the progress of the age
in which they live, there can be no
hope of Acknowledgement from the net
work of sophistry and trickery which
the modern politician has so cunning
ly woven about them.
But, we may be asked, how is this
knowledge and training to be obtained,
especially by those who are no longer
young, and whose daily cares are such
that they cannot give themselves up
to continuous study? Our reply is,
read and think! Let no man saw he
has no time for reading. The man
who has not time to prepare himself
for an intelligent exercise of the right

of suffrage has no right to vote ana
the man who does not take enonap
interest in society to vote has no rioIIt
to claim the protection which soc;etr
affords himself and his business in nv
shape of law. In these days of cbean
books and cheap journals there is No
excuse for any man remaining ignorant
of the principles of political economy
nor of the events of daily occurrence
throughout the world by which tboso
principles are elucidated. But let no
man satisfy his conscience by tho
reading of a single journal, represent.
ing only his own political faith. Such
a man can no more obtain a comnra.
hensive view of the times and their
necessities than al he who looks onlv
through blue spectacles see the world
in it's true colors ; and he is scarcely
more fit to vote than the man who
cannot read at all. Questions of agri.
cultural interest, especially, are gen.
orally either ignored in political Jour.
mails Or treated from the standpoint Of
partisan politics alone and this ex-
plains the great difference Of opinion
that exists among farmers in relation
to the protective tariff, a difference 50
radical that few journals among those
exclusively devoted to agriculture can
treat this great question with thorough
independence. The interests of agri.
culture are one, and the tariff is either
a benefit to the farmer or a disadvan.
tage; but if the question of it's con,
tinuance or removal were to be de-.
cided by the votes of the farmers Of
America today it is very doubtful
what the result would be-, because
these have been led, according to their
partisan affiliations, to espouse the one
side or the other of this question with,
out taking the trouble to follow it out
for themselves to its legitimate con-
clusions."

BASIC STAG FOR FERTILIZING

An English journal states that the
Thomas Gilchrist steel process lis
daily proving an increased source of
wealth to the English iron making
districts whose ore are of a phospho.
rio nature, and the employment of the
waste Stag produced in agricultural
fertilizing is proving very successful"
The Staffordshire Steel & Ingot Iron
Company, at their works at Bilston,
are experiencing "such a good de,
mand for the basic manure that they
have just concluded arrangements for
doubling their present grinding plant"
The company is now manufacturing
100 tons of the finest ground steel
manur per week, and if it's capacity
were larger it might have orders in
hand for 1000 tons ahead. The fer
tilizer is contracted for by London
artificial manure merchants, and finds
its way TO agriculturists at 80. to 4os.
per ton.
The manufacture Of 100 tons Of the
finest steel manure a week is a new, if
not sharp industry. Phosphorus in
combination with iron doubtless ex-
tends as deep into the earth and as
wide over it's surface as this very
abundant metal is known to extend.
Without phosphorus it is impossible
to form a seed of wheat, corn, or
human bone. Hence the unceasing
demand and consumption of South
Carolina phosphates. The time may
come when Tennessee iron and steel
will cost very little because "steol
manure" will cover the manufacture.
Cheap steel will be a cheap farm i'm
plement, farm wagons, cheap tertlll-
zers, cheap bread and meat for the
mass of mankind. The farmers need
cheap iron, steel, tools, and concen-
trated manure at a low figure to form
cheap crops.-Iennessee Farmer.

WHAT A UNION COUNTY BOY
HAS TO SAY.

Well, I've been wanting to write to
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER ever since |
have been reading it, but 1 haven't
had the time. Pa subscribed for your
paper last July and he has been a con-
slant reader of it eve since.
Well, L think The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER is the best paper I ever read,
and l want every farmer in North
Carolina to read it. Then we can un-
derstand each other better, and every
club will know what the other is do
ing.
We are all organized down here in
Union and expect to reap the benefits
of our organization in a short time.
The different clubs of the county met
at Watson on the 8th inst. and organ
lied a county club, and we are ready
for business now. There were thir-
teen clubs represented at the county
meeting, and one that was not repre-
sented, and there have been two clubs
formed since. Some people are not
satisfied with the constitution adopted
and they say We have let a "fy in the
lock" all ready. However, we must
be on our watch and turn the key at
the right time. Nevertheless, we
have got a good newspaper down
here, and it's clever editor, after writ
ing a good editorial to the farmers, in
conclusion says: 1--WE offer to the
county clubs and all the subordinate
clubs the free use of our columns for
all publications they may wish to
make"
Now the people don't know what
value there is in printers ink if they
did, they would make more publica-
lions than they do. We must have
better farmers, and how must we be
better? Well, we must raise our own
hog and hominy at home. When we

FARMING THAT PAYS.

Every farmer should aim to raise all
the farm products needed for domestic
use first. The independence of farm
life lies right here. He grows every
supply for his table, so far as his soil
and climate permits, under his own
eye. He is dependent on no one for
the necessities of life, or even for the
luxuries of his table. Every variety
of fruit suited to his locality should
be produced for his own use, let him
live near or remote from the city.
Then, let him increase the acreage of
every variety that pays in the market
to his ability to handle it without loss
his losses will often over balance his
profits. 1t is not wise for the grower
to put himself at the mercy Of others.
If he does, he will often find their ten
der mercy cruel. They will let his
perishable property 60 to waste, unless
they can secure the lions share Of the
profits.
Besides grain crops and stock grow
ing as a branch of alarming, every farm
adapted to it should have growing on
it an orchard of every variety Of fruit
demanded by the market at paying
prices. Do not run SO much to n
kind of fruit that you would suffer
heavy embarrassment if it fails. All
kinds of fruit seldom fail in n year.

for taxation at a higher value on those
very homes. To illustrate Suppose
these convicts were worked steadily
north from Statesville, working down
all the bad hills or opening a new road
where that coald be more easily done
until the WilkeUine is reached, does
anybody suppose hat the lands Of
New Hope township would stand on
our tax books at their present valua-
ton? Certainly not. They would be
intrinscally more valuable and the
honest assessors of New Hope town
ship would put them up, and the
whole county would derive benefit
from this increased valuation Of the
lands in that township and just so Of
all other localities.
But I have written more than [ in

THE ABUSE OF LANDS.

From the early settlement of this
country, especially in Tennessee, the
the custom among farmers has been
to select the best available lands for
tillage, to get the most out of them in
shortest time, and then clear others
and put them through the same curse.
No care in the timber, TO- regard for
the wearing out of lands was exer-
cised. The result is growing manifest
in WORKOUT fields; quilted hillsides,
reduced area of first-class agricultural
lands, and decreasing yield per acre
of the staple products Of the soil. The
time has come when the farming peo-
pie will find it difficult to find new
farm lands of most desirable kind and
locality in their virgin state, and in
viting to be cleared. The time is near
when increasing population and in
creased demands for increased farm
products, coupled with the decreased
extent of productive lands, will call
with an imperious voice for a halt in
the processes of farming, and reversal
Of the methods Of the past. Instead
of abandoning fields after a few years
of murderous cultivation and seeking
for new grounds in the dark forest,
we will have to recognize the fact that
we must take care of our present
farms, and by judicious tillage and
good treatment restore to them life and
vigor, and the fertility and productive
ness which they originally possessed,
and which they have SO largely lost.
When our forests were limitless
when land was more abundant than
people, and so cheap as to be had for
the entry and occupancy when a
winters clearing would substitute a
new for a partially worn field, there
was no thought of a possible end to
the system ; but now when tobacco
growers are looking with keen eyes
for eligible spots for plant beds. and
the owners of the best farms in the
State find rail timber exhausted and
their fields, year by year, yielding less
and less, the necessity is more and
more apparent that u methods must
be changed and that instead Of abus-
ing our landed heritage, as in the past,
we must preserve and improve it.
This cannot be done in a moment.
1t will be the work of time to make it
universal but those who begin first
will be first to reap the fruits Of the
required inevitable reform. Restora.
ton will be the watch-word of farmers
in the future. We have taken from
the lands SO much without recompense,
they demand in a voice that must be
heard and needed, a return for their
liberality.-Zennessee Farmer.
